Shirley Manigault sits surrounded by hand woven baskets on Market Street in downtown Charleston, S.C., April 1, 2010. Sea Island basket weaving is a folk tradition whose origins date back to the end of the 17th century. This art form was born out of the rise of South Carolinian rice cultivation during the 1680s. Originally known as fanners, the circular baskets were approximately two feet in diameter and used as tools for winnowing rice. The traditional artists displays are one of many sites to behold on the Newcomer?s Tour sponsored by the Airman and Family Readiness Center on Joint Base Charleston. The tour is free and offered to all service members and their families. (U.S. Air Force Photo/Airman 1st Class Lauren Main)
